Net Zero 2030
We believe that achieving net zero carbon by 2030 is not merely possible, but imperative; holding ourselves accountable for the actions we take, delivering on our commitments, and striving to improve, together.Ambitious and transparent
Whether we’re sharing the successes or challenges of our journey, Fora is committed to a policy of openness and honesty with our community, Residents, and stakeholders.
Our path to 2030
With real estate responsible for 40% of the world’s carbon emissions, we’re aware of the important role we have to play to reduce our own footprint. Fora’s Net Zero plan currently covers our existing buildings across scope 1 and 2, with some additional scope 3 boundaries as well.
Highlighting operational energy use of our buildings and the collective impact of energy consumed by our building occupants, we have a number of emission reduction measures including:
- Conducting ASHRAE level II energy audits to identify short and long-term improvements.
- Implementing AI and sensor technology to optimise system performance.
- Analysis of scope 3 boundaries in operational sites, looking to reduce emissions in waste and paper usage.
- Engaging with Residents and teams to educate and stimulate behaviour change.
Local action with universal effects
Our social value
Not just focused on our carbon impact, we also measure the social value we generate each year.
This value covers both the impact we have on our own teams, Residents, and supply chains, and the impact we have on the wider, local community; assessing our internal governance as well as our charitable efforts carried out as an organisation.
terra{fora}
Our terra{fora} event series offers a platform for Residents and sustainability experts to discuss ideas, tools, and resources that enable climate action; not only a bold statement of our commitment to the environment, but also a joyful celebration of our power to effect change.
Under the terra{fora} umbrella, we partner with brilliant London-based companies to host initiatives we believe in. Such as our recent Big Clothes Switch event series, hosted in collaboration with Stories Behind Things.
